Okay, you've convinced me that the article says something that it doesn't say at all. Good job.

It remains true that Khelif is self-admittedly biologically male, despite your wish that reality weren't so

"I am not a trans woman, I am a girl. I was raised as a girl, I grew up as a girl, the people in my village have always known me as a girl," Khelif said.

From your article

Did you go into a fugue state as you read this part, or just felt like lying to everyone?

Khelif confirmed she has the SRY gene, located on the Y chromosome that indicates masculinity.

Some male babies are born with ambiguous genitalia, and get incorrectly assigned female at birth. They are raised "as a girl" in the gender sense, while still being biologically male. They are not trans. No amount of being raised "as a girl" changes their sex. Khelif is one of these people. Khelif is male.

You don't even understand the basics of what you're trying to argue about. Please, for everyone's sake, educate yourself before polluting the Fediverse.

Congratulations! You're learning that gender is actually a spectrum!

What you quoted:

she has the SRY gene

What you said:

Some male babies are born with ambiguous genitalia

But the article did not say anything about her being born with ambiguous genitalia. Did you hallucinate while reading the article or just felt like lying to everyone?

You don't even understand the basics of what you're trying to argue about. Please, for everyone's sake, educate yourself

So let me educate you: there are people born with the SRY gene but only female physical characteristics. There are people born without the SRY gene that have a penis. So what defines a male? Is it being born with a penis, is it having the SRY gene, or is it something more complicated than that?

You've confused gender and sex. Please educate yourself. I'll help!

What makes someone male or female is the type of gametes their body is organized around producing.

Let's start with that. Can you acknowledge your previous ignorance now that you have become slightly more educated?
